Oconto Falls needs school bus drivers.
Find people to get behind the wheel of the school district’s fleet of yellow buses has been one of the biggest challenges of a challenging new year of social distancing precautions in the COVID-19 era, Superintendent Dean Hess told the school board Sept. 19.
“We are drastically short of bus drivers,” Hess said.
About seven drivers left before the start of the new year, he said. Some had already been contemplating retirement as they grew older, and concerns about the virus tipped the scales.
